Blues v Chiefs

@Crucial Thoughts on Tana?

Well, he selected Nanai after you guys all cried about it for so long and he handed the Chiefs the game.
It's the forwards that keep the opposition in the game then everyone else fucks up as the pressure comes on and they try too hard.
Pulu is missing leadership support big time. Notice how when the Chiefs changed gear that Messam was front and centre all the time? Tana needs to find that guy. Could be Kaino or SBW though.
I tend to think Steve Jackson is the weak link. I'm not convinced he is as good a forward coach as some think and T is loyal to him.

I do wonder why bringing down a maul that has momentum like the Blues one just had doesn’t result in a penalty try?

Try anyway though.
Game back on

[gt12]

I still think the blues will win this.

[Crucial]

Blues are well in this game anyway.

[gt12]

Ioane in the midfield...

[Tim]

Blues have missed SBW tonight.

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 nope, gotta keep the best wing in the world on the wing...

[gt12]

Dropping that line out is pretty unforgivable.

[Stargazer]

@tim Not sure; he wasn't great last week.

[gt12]

Again, just a matter of time.

We have no quality on defense. Surprise me, please.

[Crucial]

Not sure what Pulu has done so badly actually. I think the Pulu/Weber battle has been fantastic and swung one way to the other all game.
Blues lack leaders basically.

[gt12]

I can hear @tim clapping from here.

[Crucial]

It's set pieces that are costing big time.

[African Monkey]

That's unlike us fucking things up at a crucial stage.

Nailed it.

[gt12]

@crucial

Both teams.

Their scrum, our line out.

[antipodean]

That was already a ruck and Duffie got penalised for exactly the same thing.

[gt12]

Fucking hell Dmac.

[Gunner]

How far offside was Chiefs 16 before that Blues knock on?

Did you see the ruck where Pulu left the ball at the back got turned over and lead to a Chiefs try?
